and im so fucking tired of every few weeks a new law is proposed or an old law is brought back up and i have 0 confidence in any of my reps to give a fuck about privacy and freedom of speech because 'protect the kids' looks good at a glance in this current political climate. sigh.

makes me so fucking mad that people are so gullible to believe that surveillance laws will help kids in any way. the proponents of all these bills dont gaf about kids, they gaf about paving the way for social control and further suppression of speech. and its so obvious.

the thing about children is that they grow up into adults pretty quickly so by passing laws and whatever that strip away privacy rights in the name of 'protecting kids' youre making a worse future for them. a future where they will not know what life is like without overreaching surveillance.

My submission to the Oops All Comics! zine that was for sale during @cartoonist.coop's Nib & Ink Fest.
#comics #furry

Panel 1: An anthropomorphic opossum holding a coffee looks down, surprised, at a colorful knit sweater being shoved into their chest by an off screen character. It is a cold, windy day in autumn with overcast skies and dead leaves floating with the breeze.
Panel 2: An anthro squirrel looks up in confusion as the same off screen character's hands place a large knit hat on their head.
Panel 3: An anthro mouse looks up and squeaks at the off screen character as they place a knit cardigan on the mouse's shoulders.
Panel 4: An anthro badger naps on a bench, using their backpack as a pillow. The off screen character places a checkerboard knit blanket over them.
Panel 5: The off screen character is revealed to be an anthropomorphic bunny. They happily knit while the wind whips around them.
Panel 6: The bunny is suddenly interrupted, frightened by the appearance of four mysterious other animals around them.
Panel 7: The bunny's friends from before reveal themselves by giving the bunny a warm group hug in thanks. All four friends are wearing their knitted gifts. Each garment bears a matching color scheme: mustard yellow, spice orange, Halloween purple, and muted green alternating with charcoal grey.

Look here if you can't find your reps! Call them, *especially* your red ones, and tell them trans healthcare will NOT be used as a bargaining chip to end the shutdown. Intimidation with numbers guys

robi with mack and hopper. robi and hopper smoke BIG WEED BUNTS while mack does not. robi puts their feet up on mack. mack's screen displays a sweaty and fed up face. a shockingly well drawn clipboard is in mack's hand. the clipboard is the most believably drawn thing in the entire image.

We ate a rave apple from the farmers market a few days ago and its a 9.5/10. Strong, sweet and tart flavor. Super crispy. And it was huge. A stellar example of an apple. Its a honeycrisp crossbreed so unsurprising that its so good.

"i saw on the news that trump is threatening to shut down the government unless democrats bend the knee on trans healthcare and i'm calling to say that i will never vote for [name] again if they do. i would rather they shut down the government." and they will say "thank you i'll pass that on"

if you have democrat rep/senators i recommend calling and reminding them you will never vote for them again if they bend the knee on this. shutting down the government is the correct choice. that is the exact phrasing in my 3 calls and it took 5 min total

Today, we ate a mutsu green apple from the farmers market. It was crisp, had a strong tart flavor, but had a slightly waxy/chalky quality to the texture but I didn’t think it was that noticeable. 8/10 apple and one of the best greens I’ve tried.

Almost Home - this month’s riso print to ring in the fall.

Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost “home” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little

something really awesome u can do is if theres a part of the image u dont want to draw and uve already drawn ur focal points u can just leave some spaces blank and call it artistic use of negative space if u finagle it enough to seem intentional

i put this on their discord too but this version is updated to fix the curves around their torso

fanart of robi, idk theyre a rabbit or something like that. pale character wearing a big white, orange, and blue astronaut-like jacket, brown capris with a big snap buckle belt, a black leotard with hip showing AND breasts oh my god...fingerless gloves, robotic rabbit ears and robotic rabbit paws. their hair is silver with a dark grey streak in their bangs. strange, they seem to be wearing bracelets and a big necklace with a glowing red light/lock, like some sort of futuristic ankle monitor type situation.
